Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Terms of Service

1. Terms

Welcome to MessagePath.com (the “Site”), a service operated by the Cognifyd Corporation (“MessagePath”, “we”, “ us”, or “our”). The Site and related products and services provide users with an “intelligent” proofreading application on the web and installed on your computer (e.g. a browser extension or a locally installed application on your computer) to provide feedback for workplace and work related activities (collectively, “Services”).

By accessing the website at MessagePath.com or Cognifyd.com or any associated installed service (e.g. browser extension of other installed applications), you are agreeing to be bound by these terms of service, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this website are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.

This terms of use agreement (the “Agreement”) forms a binding agreement between you and us regarding the use of our Services. By completing the registration process, and/or browsing the Site, (i) you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and are authorized to use the Services, including under the laws of any jurisdiction in which you reside and/or by any organization in connection with which you use the Services, and (ii) you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you browse the Site and may be able to access some Services), a “Subscriber” (which means that you are an individual or an employer who has established a subscription on the Site (your “Subscription”)) or a Subscriber End User (as defined below). If you do not agree to all of the terms in this Agreement, you must cease accessing and using the Site and Services immediately. In addition, certain areas, features or functions of the Site or Services may be subject to additional agreements posted within, adjacent to or linked to from the Site. Any such terms are incorporated into this Agreement.

Visitors. A Visitor may browse the Site in accordance with this Agreement, but may no have access to all our Services without either first becoming a Subscriber or having someone subscribe on his or her behalf.

Subscribers. To start a Subscription, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of multiple individuals, you must (i) provide your email address or a username and select a password or (ii) access the Services through a third-party messaging platform. We will refer to your email address or username and your password for the Services, and your username for the third-party messaging platform used to access the Services, if applicable, as your “Credentials.” Each Subscriber is responsible for the acts and omissions of its End Users (as defined below), including any USER DATA made available by any End User.

End Users. If you access the Services as an employee, contractor or agent of a Subscriber, you are a “Subscriber End User.” Each Subscriber End User must use his or her own Credentials. In some cases, a Subscriber has invited you to interact via the Services with the Subscriber and/or one or more Subscriber End Users. In such event, you may have the ability to access certain features of the Services without a Subscription. If you access the Services as an employee, contractor, agent, or invitee of a Subscriber, but do not provide Credentials, you are a “Non-Subscriber End User.” (Subscriber End-Users and Non-Subscriber End Users are referred to collectively as “End Users.”) As a Non-Subscriber End User, your access to the Services may be limited. If you are an End User, you further acknowledge and agree that the Subscriber may select one or more administrators to control, manage and use the Services on your and/or its behalf (each, an “Administrator”), and the Administrators may grant (or may grant to other Subscriber End Users) certain privileges such as access to and control of the USER DATA, for which you may bear responsibility. Subscribers, Subscriber End Users, Non-Subscriber End Users, and Visitors are referred to collectively as “Users.”

Accessing the Services. Certain features and functions of the Services may be accessible through a third-party account, for example, a third-party messaging platform. You may link your account for the Services with your third-party accounts, or a Subscriber or End User may link its account for the Services with its third-party accounts and invite you to interact with the Services via such third-party account; in either case only to the extent permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each third-party account. You represent that if you allow us to access your third-party account, or if a Subscriber allows us to access your third-party account on your behalf, you are entitled to disclose your third-party account login information to us and/or grant us access to your third-party account without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable third-party account and without obligating us to pay any fees or making us subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. You acknowledge and agree that by granting us access to any of your third-party accounts (including any third-party accounts for any Subscriber End Users or Non-Subscriber End Users who a Subscriber invites to use the Services or on whose behalf a Subscriber provides information to us), we may access, make available and store any information, data, text, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible that you have provided to and/or stored in your third-party accounts relating to your use of our Services or that you have provided to and/or otherwise made available through your interactions with a Subscriber and/or End Users through their third-party accounts (collectively, “Third-Party Account Data”). Depending on the third-party accounts and subject to the privacy settings in such third-party accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your third-party accounts or that an End User posts to his or her third-party accounts may be available to other Users and/or Administrators. Please note that if a third-party account or associated service becomes unavailable or our access to such third-party account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then the Third-Party Account Data for that third-party service may no longer be available on and through the Services. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

Necessary Equipment and Software. You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Services. You are solely responsible for any third-party fees that you incur when accessing the Services.

2. Use of Services

User Data. Third-Party Account Data and all other data and information provided by you to or through the Services, and/or otherwise relating to your use of the Services, shall be referred to as “USER DATA”. As between us and you, you shall own all USER DATA you provide to or through the Services.

Access. We will use commercially reasonable efforts designed to restrict access to the USER DATA of a Subscriber and its End Users to the other End Users and any Administrators of such Subscriber. As an interactive and collaborative service, however, the USER DATA of an End User will generally be available to other End Users under the same Subscription, subject to any permissions or restrictions set by one or more Administrators. Administrators shall have access to any and all USER DATA posted or otherwise made available to or through the Services and to any and all communications between End Users or other communications made via the Services. No password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and you acknowledge that Site and the Services are not invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.

Review. The Services are designed to interact with Users and assist with business related tasks. Except in connection with operating and improving the Services and resolving customer services issues, we do not undertake to review, inspect, edit or monitor any USER DATA. However, if we believe that a Subscription is being used for unlawful purposes or purposes that violate the terms of this Agreement (e.g., storage and distribution of any illegal material such as copyrighted content), we reserve the right to examine any USER DATA. We reserve the right to refuse, remove or disable access to any USER DATA stored on our servers for any reason, including in the event that we believe that the USER DATA or its storage may be illegal or violate this Agreement.

License. You acknowledge that, subject to the terms of any agreement(s) with third-party service providers of your third-party accounts, we may use, and you hereby grant to us a limited, non-exclusive, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, and creative derivative works of any USER DATA: (a) to provide the Services hereunder, and (b) for our business purposes, including to use, display, modify and create derivative works of the USER DATA to create and compile Aggregate Data, including insights, analysis and statistics for training (both human and computer) and other business purposes. “Aggregate Data” means aggregated statistics and/or data created or derived by us from USER DATA or our provision or your use of the Service; provided, however, that such Aggregate Data will not identify Subscriber or any Subscriber End User. We will own all right, title and interest in and to the Aggregate Data.

Performance. You acknowledge that our Services are for informational purposes and that the analysis and feedback we provide does not imply results. No guarantee of performance is provided with our Services based on decisions made based on our analysis and feedback.

FEES. As a Subscriber, you agree to pay our then-current and applicable subscription fees (as listed on the Site or pursuant to your customer agreement) for the Services, based on the subscription type for which you sign up. Your use of the Services is subject to the restrictions established in your applicable plan (e.g., limitations on storage amounts or the number of accounts or End Users). If you are an End User who is an employee, contractor or agent of a Subscriber, your business or organization may pay fees on your behalf. If you are a Visitor or a Non-Subscriber End User who was invited to interact with the Services by a Subscriber or other End User, you will not owe any fees, though your use of the Services will be subject to the terms of this Agreement. MessagePath charges and collects in advance for use of certain Services. Unless you designate in your Subscription preferences or notify us that you do not want your Subscription to be auto-renewed, you agree that we may automatically renew your Subscription to the Services and automatically charge you the then-current renewal fees for such renewed Subscription using the credit card or other payment mechanism associated with your subscription at the beginning of each recurring period.

Free Trials. If you register on the Site for a free trial, we will make the Services available to you on a trial basis free of charge until the earlier of (i) the end of the free trial period for which you registered or are registering to use the applicable Service or (ii) the start date of any Services to which you Subscribe. All provisions of this Agreement will apply during your free trial, unless otherwise set forth herein, and additional trial terms and conditions may govern your trial. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding. ANY USER DATA (NOT INCLUDING AGGREGATE DATA) SAVED DURING YOUR FREE TRIAL WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A PAID SUBSCRIPTION OR EXPORT SUCH DATA BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL PERIOD (TO THE EXTENT WE, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, ELECT TO MAKE SUCH FUNCTIONALITY AVAILABLE).

Non-Payment. You further agree that we may suspend your access to any Services if, at any time, you have not paid all fees that you owe to us. In the event we are unable to collect the fees you owe us, we may take any other steps we deem necessary to collect such fees from you, and that you will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Any amounts not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum legal rate, if less.

Refunds. In the event of termination of a Service, we may provide you with a refund of any pre-paid, but unused fees related to such Service, effective at the beginning of the next month of your Service. No refund shall be paid for the current month’s services, regardless of the day on which you cancel the Services. We will issue the refund within 60 days of when your cancellation request is processed. You will not be entitled to any refund for our termination of the Services based upon your breach.

Taxes. The fees set forth herein are net of any applicable sales tax. If any fees for Services under this Agreement are subject to sales tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable sales tax to us, you will be responsible for the payment to the relevant tax authority of such sales tax and any related penalties or interest. You will indemnify us for our liability or expense we may incur in connection with such sales tax. “Sales tax” shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that we are permitted to pass to our customers, which is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax. You agree to make all payments of fees to us free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to us will be your sole responsibility and, upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

Ownership. You acknowledge and agree that the software, code, proprietary methods and systems used to provide the Site or Services (“Our Technology ”) are: (i) copyrighted by us and/or our licensors or suppliers under United States and international copyright laws; (ii) subject to other intellectual property and proprietary rights and laws; and (iii) owned by us or our suppliers or licensors. Our Technology may not be copied, modified, reproduced, republished, posted, transmitted, sold, offered for sale, reverse-engineered or redistributed in any way without our prior written permission, which we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion. This Agreement provides you with access to the Services. No license is granted hereunder to Our Technology.

User content. You are solely responsible for all text, documents or other content or information uploaded, entered or otherwise transmitted by you in connection with your use of the Services and/or Software (“User Content”). User Content includes, among other things, any mistakes contained in the content or information transmitted by you. MessagePath has no obligation to monitor any User Content and shall have no liability to you or any other person or entity with respect thereto, including, without limitation, liability with respect to any information (including your confidential information) contained in or apparent from any User Content. You warrant, represent and covenant that you own or have a valid and enforceable license to use all User Content, and that no User Content infringes, misappropriates or violates the rights (including, without limitation, any copyrights or other intellectual property rights) of any person or entity or any applicable law, rule or regulation of any government authority of competent jurisdiction. MessagePath is not responsible for the loss, corruption or other changes to User Content. Without limiting the foregoing, any feature(s) of the Services and/or Software that may permit you to temporarily save or otherwise store User Content is offered for your convenience only and MessagePath does not guarantee that the User Content will be retrievable. You are solely responsible for saving, storing and otherwise maintaining User Content including by maintaining backup copies of your User Content on appropriate independent systems that do not rely on the Services and/or Software.

By uploading or entering any User Content, you give MessagePath (and those it works with) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable and sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, store and use your User Content in connection with improving underlying the Software and Services.

Trademarks. Certain of the names, logos, and other materials displayed on the Site or via the Services constitute trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos (“Marks”) of MessagePath or other entities. You are not authorized to use any such Marks. Ownership of all such Marks and the goodwill associated therewith remains with and will inure to us or those other entities.

Third Party Software. Any use of third-party software provided in connection with the Site or Services will be governed by such third parties’ licenses and not by this Agreement.

Feedback. Any comments, ideas and/or reports about the Site or Services that you provide to us, whether in written or electronic form (“Feedback”), shall be considered our proprietary and confidential information, and you hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to us all intellectual property rights embodied in or arising in connection with such Feedback, and any other rights or claims that you may have with respect to any such Feedback.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICES. We may, in our sole discretion, upgrade, enhance, change and modify the Services, including by discontinuing a Service or any aspect or feature thereof (collectively, “Modifications”). Any Modifications will be subject to this Agreement, and we will provide notice of adverse and material changes to this Agreement by posting them on our Site. It is your responsibility to check the Site periodically. You agree to be bound to this Agreement, as modified. If you do not agree to the modified Agreement, you are not permitted to use the Services and must terminate your subscription immediately. The terms of any new Agreement shall apply from and after the effective date thereof.

The security of your personal information is important to us. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will use commercially reasonable efforts designed to help ensure the safety of your personal information.

TERMINATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL IN NO WAY MODIFY, CHANGE OR VOID ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS YOU MAY HAVE INCURRED UP TO THE DATE OF TERMINATION THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY SERVICES, WHETHER SUCH OBLIGATION IS TO US OR A THIRD PARTY.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SITE AND TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES IF YOU AGREE TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY TO YOU AND TO THIRD PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO, OR THE INABILITY TO USE OR TO ACCESS, THE SITE, THE SERVICES OR YOUR USER DATA, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THIS SITE OR THE SERVICES, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SITE AND THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THE SERVICES IS LIMITED, IN THE AGGREGATE, TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

This Section informs you of your rights when receiving Communications from us electronically. For contractual purposes, you (i) consent to receive Communications from us in an electronic form; and (ii) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, documents, disclosures, and other communications (“Communication(s)”) that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such Communication would satisfy if it were in writing.

Please keep us informed of any changes in your email or mailing address so that you continue to receive all Communications without interruption.

INTERNATIONAL USERS. The Services can be accessed from countries around the world. This availability of the Services outside the United States does not imply that we intend to announce such Services in your country.

Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

The materials appearing on MessagePath’s website could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. MessagePath does not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete or current. MessagePath may make changes to the materials contained on its website at any time without notice. However MessagePath does not make any commitment to update the materials.

6. Links

MessagePath has not reviewed all of the sites linked to its website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by MessagePath of the site. Use of any such linked website is at the user’s own risk.

7. Modifications

MessagePath may revise these terms of service for its website at any time without notice. By using this website you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these terms of service.

8. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of CA and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that State or location.

DATA COLLECTION. MessagePath does not collect personally identifiable information from you except to the extent you have explicitly given such information to MessagePath. MessagePath’s information practices are further described in its privacy policy. The Privacy Policy is an integral part of this Agreement and is expressly incorporated by reference, and by entering into this Agreement you agree to (i) all of the terms of the Privacy Policy, and (ii) MessagePath’s use of data as described in the Privacy Policy is not an actionable breach of your privacy or publicity rights.

GENERAL TERMS. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement and the relationship between you and MessagePath will be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state and (b) you consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in, and agree to service of process issued or authorized by, any court located in Delaware. This Agreement is personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign or delegate your rights and/or duties under this Agreement to anyone else and any attempted assignment or delegation is void. You acknowledge that we have the right hereunder to seek an injunction, if necessary, to stop or prevent a breach of your obligations hereunder. The paragraph headings in this Agreement, shown in boldface type, are included only to help make this Agreement easier to read and have no binding effect. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have any effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications or agreements. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE. All controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and MessagePath arising out of, under, or related to this Agreement or our privacy practices (including any action we take or authorize with respect to information about or provided by you) shall be settled exclusively through binding arbitration.

Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).

You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement, EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
You and MessagePath must abide by the following rules: (i) for any claim that could otherwise be brought in small claims court, the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, a telephonic hearing; (ii) if the claim exceeds what can be recovered in a small claims court, the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions or a telephonic hearing, unless the arbitrator deems a face-to-face hearing is appropriate, in which case one should be held at a location agreed to by you and MessagePath, and if the parties cannot agree on a location for the hearing, the arbitrator will determine a location for the proceedings which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; (iii) the arbitrator’s ruling is binding and not merely advisory; (iv) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR MESSAGEPATH MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (v) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, (vi) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, MessagePath will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (vii) MessagePath also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (viii) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (ix) a decision by the arbitrator (including any finding of fact and/or conclusion of law) against either you or MessagePath shall be confidential unless otherwise required to be disclosed by law or by any administrative body and may not be collaterally used against either of them in existing or subsequent litigation or arbitration involving any other person/ MessagePath customer; and (x) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and litigation expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or MessagePath may bring an individual action in small claims court. In addition, if you are a user outside of the United States, the dispute resolution provision in our Privacy Policy (if any), and not this arbitration provision, shall apply to any disputes related to privacy. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret rights shall not be subject to this arbitration provision. Such claims shall be exclusively brought (unless such courts do not have personal jurisdiction in the dispute) in the courts located in Delaware. Additionally, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before such courts in order to maintain the status quo pending the arbitrator’s ruling, and hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

With the exception otherwise noted in these terms of service (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, parts of these terms of service are found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor MessagePath shall be entitled to arbitration. In the event this arbitration provision is held unenforceable by a court, or in the event AAA refuses to arbitrate the dispute, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and MessagePath shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts specified herein.

For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

Privacy Policy

Welcome to MessagePath.com (the “Site”), a website operated by the Cognifyd Corporation (“MessagePath”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We know you are concerned about your privacy, so we developed this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how we collect, use, and disclose information relating to our users’ interactions with our products and services, whether users are simply visiting our Site or using any of our related products and services (“Services”). Capitalized terms used not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms of Use Agreement for the Site.

IF YOU ARE A NON-U.S. USER OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, BY VISITING THE SITE, USING THE SERVICES AND/OR PROVIDING US WITH INFORMATION, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSES IDENTIFIED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED BY US IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS IN OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY. BY VISITING THE SITE, USING THE SERVICES AND/OR PROVIDING ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TRANSFER OF DATA FROM YOUR COUNTRY TO A COUNTRY THAT MAY HAVE LESS STRINGENT LAWS, AND THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN CONFORMANCE WITH THIS POLICY.

The term “Personal Information,” as used in this Privacy Policy, means contact information (e.g., name, address, email address, or telephone number) and any other non-public information that is used or intended to be used to personally identify an individual. The term “Anonymous Information,” as used in this Privacy Policy, means information that is neither used nor intended to be used to personally identify an individual.

Children
The Site and Services are not directed to children and children are not eligible to use our Site or Services. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. We do not collect or maintain Personal Information from people we actually know are under 13 years of age, and no part of our Site or Services is designed to attract people under 13 years of age. When the Site or Services collect age information, and users identify themselves as under 13, we will take steps to remove that user’s Personal Information from our databases and to prevent the user from utilizing the Site or Services.

How We Collect Information.
Personal Information
In general, the Personal Information we gather enables us to provide the Site and Services to you. We collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily when you register with us or when you use the Site or Services. We also collect Personal Information from any third party who may submit such Personal Information to us (e.g., a user who provides us with your Personal Information when registering or inviting multiple individuals to use the Services). To create an “Account” with a user name, we require certain Personal Information, including a name and email address. In order for a third party to create an Account on your behalf, we may require your Personal Information so that you may have access to certain features of the Site or Services. Any third party registering on your behalf is responsible for obtaining any and all necessary consents from you prior to submitting such Personal Information. All payments on the Site are processed by our service providers who collect your credit card information directly, and we will not have access to or see your credit card information as part of such transaction. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features of the Site or Services you are able to use.

In order for us to provide access to certain features or functions of the Services, we may require users to access the Services through a third-party platform (“Third-Party Platform”), using users’ existing account and log-in credentials on such Third-Party Platform. If you elect to proceed after receiving a prompt from us to enter your Third-Party Platform credentials, you are granting us and our Services access to your information on such Third-Party Platform. Further, by accessing, using, or interacting with the Services through a Third-Party Platform (whether or not you are using your account for such Third-Party Platform), you should also refer to that Third-Party Platform’s terms of use, as you will be subject to those terms of use as well. We receive and use information uploaded, posted, provided, communicated, or otherwise made available from the Third-Party Platform to make it easier for you to create an account with us and to offer and improve the Site and Services. The information that we collect from a Third-Party Platform account through which you access, use or interact with the Services, may depend on the privacy settings for that Third-Party Platform, so please consult the Third Party-Platform’s privacy and data practices.

When you send an email or other communication to us, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our Services.

Anonymous Information
Information Collected by Our Servers. Our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, clickstream data, and a date/time stamp for your visit.

Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience through our Site and/or Services. This type of information is collected to make the Site and/or Services more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept cookies from our Site and/or Services for any of the purposes described above, then you can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Consult your browser’s technical information. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site and/or Services.

Pixel Tags. In addition, we use pixel tags (also referred to as clear gifs, web beacons, or web bugs). Pixel tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are used to track online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixel tags are embedded invisibly in web pages. Pixel tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to help us send messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.

Collection of Information by Advertisers. We may use third parties to serve ads on the Site and/or Services. Certain third parties may automatically collect information about your visits to the Site and other websites, your IP address, your ISP, the browser you use to visit our Site (but not your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number). They do this by using cookies or other technologies. Information collected may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Site, Services and the other sites tracked by these third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies or pixel tags in third-party ads, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technologies. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Disclosure – Third-Party Cookies. We use third-party services such as Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site and/or Services. These services use cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site and/or Services, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site and/or using the Services. We use the information we get from these service providers to improve our Site and/or Services. They generally collect only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site and/or use the Services, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine this information with your Personal Information. The service provider’s ability to use and share information it collects is restricted by its applicable terms and privacy policy. Google provides reports including user demographics and interests, age, and gender. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google opt-out plugin (link here).

We will communicate with you primarily in the form of emails. You can opt out of receiving certain communications from the Site and/or Services by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email or emailing us at [email protected] Please note that even if you unsubscribe or opt-out, we may still send you Site and Service related communications (e.g. emails related to your reservations or comments).

In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, Personal Information may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires our company, business, or assets, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and will assume our rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy; or
If we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (i) resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our Terms of Use Agreement, or any other agreement between us; (ii) comply with relevant laws or to respond to requests from law enforcement or other government officials relating to investigations or alleged illegal activity, in which case we can (and you hereby authorize us to) disclose Personal Information without subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (iii) protect and defend our rights or property or the rights and property of you or third parties.

Anonymous Information
We reserve the right to disclose Anonymous Information publicly without restriction, including to third-party vendors who may help us enhance or provide the Site and/or Services or to third parties.

Information Disclosed to Third Parties
This Privacy Policy addresses our use and disclosure of information we collect relating to our users’ interactions with our Site and Services. If you disclose information to others, including payment processors, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. The use and disclosure restrictions contained in this Privacy Policy will not apply to any third party. We do not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable.

The Site and/or Services may contain links to other websites and/or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over, do not review and are not responsible for the privacy policies of or content displayed via such other websites and/or services. When you click on such a link, you will leave our Site and/or Services and go to another site or service. During this process, another entity may collect Personal Information or Anonymous Information from you. The Site and/or Services may also contain links to other websites or services controlled by us but that operate under different privacy policies. Please review the privacy policy of any new website you visit or service you use.

Updating and Controlling Your Information.
If you have an Account with us, you may update certain of your Personal Information on our Site. You may also email us at [email protected] You may request that we delete your Personal Information, but please note that we may be required (by law or otherwise) to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). When we delete Personal Information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives and we may also retain Personal Information about your use of our Site and/or Services. Once we disclose some of your Personal Information to third parties, we cannot access that Personal Information any longer and cannot force the deletion or modification of any such information by the third parties to which we have made those disclosures.

Changes to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is subject to revision from time to time on a going-forward basis. We will post any revised version of the Privacy Policy on this page.
